Abstract (en)
[origin: EP3763483A1] An adjustable locking pliers (103) comprising a stationary handle (110), a stationary jaw (108), an operating lever (124) and a movable jaw (114). The movable jaw is coupled by a jaw axis (120) which is selectively displaceable to alter the jaws' gripping capacity. The operating lever is coupled to the movable jaw by a first pivot (126). The operating lever rear forms a movable handle (132). A spring (170) biases rotation of the movable jaw about the jaw axis away from the stationary jaw. An actuation rod (129) having a series of teeth (204) and a stop face (206) is coupled to the operating lever by a second pivot (130) part way along the operating lever and coupled to the stationary handle by means of a third pivot (148). A catch (161) having a series of teeth (214) and a stop face (216) is pivotally coupled to the operating lever. The actuation rod and the operating lever are prevented from passing beyond alignment of the first, second and third pivots during clamping. The teeth of the actuation rod and the teeth of the catch are configured to engage each other to permit multiple clamping positions, wherein in each of said clamping positions, the movable jaw (114) and the stationary jaw (108) are held in a fixed clamped arrangement.
